* x86/perf/amd: Resolve NMI latency issues for active PMCsLendacky, Thomas2019-04-031-1/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On AMD processors, the detection of an overflowed PMC counter in the NMI handler relies on the current value of the PMC. So, for example, to check for overflow on a 48-bit counter, bit 47 is checked to see if it is 1 (not overflowed) or 0 (overflowed). When the perf NMI handler executes it does not know in advance which PMC counters have overflowed. As such, the NMI handler will process all active PMC counters that have overflowed. NMI latency in newer AMD processors can result in multiple overflowed PMC counters being processed in one NMI and then a subsequent NMI, that does not appear to be a back-to-back NMI, not finding any PMC counters that have overflowed. This may appear to be an unhandled NMI resulting in either a panic or a series of messages, depending on how the kernel was configured. To mitigate this issue, add an AMD handle_irq callback function, amd_pmu_handle_irq(), that will invoke the common x86_pmu_handle_irq() function and upon return perform some additional processing that will indicate if the NMI has been handled or would have been handled had an earlier NMI not handled the overflowed PMC. Using a per-CPU variable, a minimum value of the number of active PMCs or 2 will be set whenever a PMC is active. This is used to indicate the possible number of NMIs that can still occur. The value of 2 is used for when an NMI does not arrive at the LAPIC in time to be collapsed into an already pending NMI. Each time the function is called without having handled an overflowed counter, the per-CPU value is checked. If the value is non-zero, it is decremented and the NMI indicates that it handled the NMI. If the value is zero, then the NMI indicates that it did not handle the NMI.

* x86/perf/amd: Resolve race condition when disabling PMCLendacky, Thomas2019-04-031-3/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On AMD processors, the detection of an overflowed counter in the NMI handler relies on the current value of the counter. So, for example, to check for overflow on a 48 bit counter, bit 47 is checked to see if it is 1 (not overflowed) or 0 (overflowed). There is currently a race condition present when disabling and then updating the PMC. Increased NMI latency in newer AMD processors makes this race condition more pronounced. If the counter value has overflowed, it is possible to update the PMC value before the NMI handler can run. The updated PMC value is not an overflowed value, so when the perf NMI handler does run, it will not find an overflowed counter. This may appear as an unknown NMI resulting in either a panic or a series of messages, depending on how the kernel is configured. To eliminate this race condition, the PMC value must be checked after disabling the counter. Add an AMD function, amd_pmu_disable_all(), that will wait for the NMI handler to reset any active and overflowed counter after calling x86_pmu_disable_all().

* perf/x86/intel: Fix handling of wakeup_events for multi-entry PEBSStephane Eranian2019-04-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an event is programmed with attr.wakeup_events=N (N>0), it means the caller is interested in getting a user level notification after N samples have been recorded in the kernel sampling buffer. With precise events on Intel processors, the kernel uses PEBS. The kernel tries minimize sampling overhead by verifying if the event configuration is compatible with multi-entry PEBS mode. If so, the kernel is notified only when the buffer has reached its threshold. Other PEBS operates in single-entry mode, the kenrel is notified for each PEBS sample. The problem is that the current implementation look at frequency mode and event sample_type but ignores the wakeup_events field. Thus, it may not be possible to receive a notification after each precise event. This patch fixes this problem by disabling multi-entry PEBS if wakeup_events is non-zero.

| * KVM: x86: update %rip after emulating IOSean Christopherson2019-03-282-10/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most (all?) x86 platforms provide a port IO based reset mechanism, e.g. OUT 92h or CF9h. Userspace may emulate said mechanism, i.e. reset a vCPU in response to KVM_EXIT_IO, without explicitly announcing to KVM that it is doing a reset, e.g. Qemu jams vCPU state and resumes running. To avoid corruping %rip after such a reset, commit 0967b7bf1c22 ("KVM: Skip pio instruction when it is emulated, not executed") changed the behavior of PIO handlers, i.e. today's "fast" PIO handling to skip the instruction prior to exiting to userspace. Full emulation doesn't need such tricks becase re-emulating the instruction will naturally handle %rip being changed to point at the reset vector. Updating %rip prior to executing to userspace has several drawbacks: - Userspace sees the wrong %rip on the exit, e.g. if PIO emulation fails it will likely yell about the wrong address. - Single step exits to userspace for are effectively dropped as KVM_EXIT_DEBUG is overwritten with KVM_EXIT_IO. - Behavior of PIO emulation is different depending on whether it goes down the fast path or the slow path. Rather than skip the PIO instruction before exiting to userspace, snapshot the linear %rip and cancel PIO completion if the current value does not match the snapshot. For a 64-bit vCPU, i.e. the most common scenario, the snapshot and comparison has negligible overhead as VMCS.GUEST_RIP will be cached regardless, i.e. there is no extra VMREAD in this case. All other alternatives to snapshotting the linear %rip that don't rely on an explicit reset announcenment suffer from one corner case or another. For example, canceling PIO completion on any write to %rip fails if userspace does a save/restore of %rip, and attempting to avoid that issue by canceling PIO only if %rip changed then fails if PIO collides with the reset %rip. Attempting to zero in on the exact reset vector won't work for APs, which means adding more hooks such as the vCPU's MP_STATE, and so on and so forth. Checking for a linear %rip match technically suffers from corner cases, e.g. userspace could theoretically rewrite the underlying code page and expect a different instruction to execute, or the guest hardcodes a PIO reset at 0xfffffff0, but those are far, far outside of what can be considered normal operation.

| * x86/kvm/hyper-v: avoid spurious pending stimer on vCPU initVitaly Kuznetsov2019-03-281-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When userspace initializes guest vCPUs it may want to zero all supported MSRs including Hyper-V related ones including HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_CONFIG/ HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_COUNT. With commit f3b138c5d89a ("kvm/x86: Update SynIC timers on guest entry only") we began doing stimer_mark_pending() unconditionally on every config change. The issue I'm observing manifests itself as following: - Qemu writes 0 to STIMERn_{CONFIG,COUNT} MSRs and marks all stimers as pending in stimer_pending_bitmap, arms KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER; - kvm_hv_has_stimer_pending() starts returning true; - kvm_vcpu_has_events() starts returning true; - kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() starts returning true; - when kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() gets into (vcpu->arch.mp_state == KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED) case: - kvm_vcpu_block() gets in 'kvm_vcpu_check_block(vcpu) < 0' and returns immediately, avoiding normal wait path; - -EAGAIN is returned from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() immediately forcing userspace to retry. So instead of normal wait path we get a busy loop on all secondary vCPUs before they get INIT signal. This seems to be undesirable, especially given that this happens even when Hyper-V extensions are not used. Generally, it seems to be pointless to mark an stimer as pending in stimer_pending_bitmap and arm KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER as the only thing kvm_hv_process_stimers() will do is clear the corresponding bit. We may just not mark disabled timers as pending instead.

| * kvm: mmu: Used range based flushing in slot_handle_level_rangeBen Gardon2019-03-281-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace kvm_flush_remote_tlbs with kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address in slot_handle_level_range. When range based flushes are not enabled kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address falls back to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs. This changes the behavior of many functions that indirectly use slot_handle_level_range, iff the range based flushes are enabled. The only potential problem I see with this is that kvm->tlbs_dirty will be cleared less often, however the only caller of slot_handle_level_range that checks tlbs_dirty is kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start which checks it and does a kvm_flush_remote_tlbs after calling kvm_unmap_hva_range anyway.

Prior to supporting nested EPT, the size of the gpte was reflected purely by CR4.PAE. KVM fudged things a bit for direct sptes, but it was mostly harmless since the size of the gpte never mattered. Now that a spte may be tracking an indirect EPT entry, relying on CR4.PAE is wrong and ill-named. For direct shadow pages, force the gpte_size to '1' as they are always 8-byte entries; EPT entries can only be 8-bytes and KVM always uses 8-byte entries for NPT and its identity map (when running with EPT but not unrestricted guest). Likewise, nested EPT entries are always 8-bytes. Nested EPT presents a unique scenario as the size of the entries are not dictated by CR4.PAE, but neither is the shadow page a direct map. To handle this scenario, set cr0_wp=1 and smap_andnot_wp=1, an otherwise impossible combination, to denote a nested EPT shadow page. Use the information to avoid incorrectly zapping an unsync'd indirect page in __kvm_sync_page(). Providing a consistent and accurate gpte_size fixes a bug reported by Vitaly where fast_cr3_switch() always fails when switching from L2 to L1 as kvm_mmu_get_page() would force role.cr4_pae=0 for direct pages, whereas kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() would set it according to CR4.PAE.

If memory is populated at the end of the physical address space, then __pa(high_memory) is outside of the physical address space because: high_memory = (void *)__va(max_pfn * PAGE_SIZE - 1) + 1; For the comparison in valid_phys_addr_range() this is not an issue, but if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled, __pa() maps to __phys_addr(), which verifies that the resulting physical address is within the valid physical address space of the CPU. So in the case that memory is populated at the end of the physical address space, this is not true and triggers a VIRTUAL_BUG_ON(). Use __pa(high_memory - 1) to prevent the conversion from going beyond the end of valid physical addresses.

After this has been brought to attention to gcc folks [0], Martin Liska has then fixed gcc to align with clang by avoiding to generate switch jump tables entirely under retpolines. This is taking effect in gcc starting from stable version 8.4.0. Given kernel supports compilation with older versions of gcc where the fix is not being available or backported anymore, we need to keep the extra KBUILD_CFLAGS around for some time and generally set the -fno-jump-tables to align with what more recent gcc is doing automatically today. More than 20 switch cases are not expected to be fast-path critical, but it would still be good to align with gcc behavior for versions < 8.4.0 in order to have consistency across supported gcc versions. vmlinux size is slightly growing by 0.27% for older gcc. This flag is only set to work around affected gcc, no change for clang.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM, /proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range. Accessing the GART range via /proc/kcore results in a kernel crash. vmcore used to have the same issue, until it was fixed with commit 2a3e83c6f96c ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")', leveraging existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore return zeroes when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it won't read from the actual memory. Apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook functions introduced in the previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some functions for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure a bit as there is no module usage yet.

While at it also fix all the *other* problems this header has: - Use canonical names for the header guards. It's inexplicable why a non-standard guard was used. - Don't define the header guard to 1. Plus annotate the closing #endif as done absolutely every other header. Again, an inexplicable source of noise. - Move the kernel API calls provided by this header next to each other, there's absolutely no reason to have them spread apart in the header. - Align the INTEL_CPU_DESC() macro initializations vertically, this is easier to read and it's also the canonical style. - Actually name the macro arguments properly: instead of 'mod, step, rev', spell out 'model, stepping, revision' - it's not like we have a lack of characters in this header. - Actually make arguments macro-safe - again it's inexplicable why it wasn't done properly to begin with. Quite amazing how many problems a 41 lines header can contain. This kind of code quality is unacceptable, and it slipped through the review net of 2 developers and 2 maintainers, including myself, until Thomas noticed it. :-/ Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The definition is problematic when compiled with -m16 (all code in arch/x86/boot/ is) as the "D" inline assembly constraint is rejected by both compilers when passed an argument of type long long (regardless of signedness, anything smaller is fine). Because GCC performs inlining before semantic analysis, and __arch_hweight64 is dead in this translation unit, GCC does not report any issues at compile time. Clang does the semantic analysis in the front end, before inlining (run in the middle) can determine the code is dead. I consider this another case of PR33587, which I think we can do more work to solve. It turns out that arch/x86/boot/string.c doesn't actually need linux/kernel.h, simply linux/limits.h and linux/compiler.h.

Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to the processes they refer to. With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of process management - sending signals - to processes other than the parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is quite handy. There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for the future once they are needed. This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via a pidfd. Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then: https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/ The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility" * tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: selftests: add tests for pidfd_send_signal() signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall

After a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1]. This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd can be used to send signals to the process it refers to. Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd). /* prototype and argument /* long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags); /* syscall number 424 */ The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]). In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo(). The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall. It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL. /* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */ The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended. /* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */ Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions. In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been requested by Eric (cf. [19]). When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls. How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it. Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as possible (cf. [4]). /* naming */ The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset: - procfd_signal() - procfd_send_signal() - taskfd_send_signal() In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]). Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_" prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding. The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name "pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals. /* zombies */ Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However, this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need ever arises. /* cross-namespace signals */ The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]). /* compat syscalls */ It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls (cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12). With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain any additional callers. /* testing */ This patch was tested on x64 and x86. /* userspace usage */ An asciinema recording for the basic functionality can be found under [9].

A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]). Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21]) Is the task_struct pinned by the fd? A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]). Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry within it? A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]). Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the pid remain reserved? A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not recycled (cf. [22]). Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21]) Do attempts to signal that fd return errors? A-05: See {Q,A}-01. Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22]) Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps. A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence, there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However, adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a future patchset (cf. [22]). Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such future applications? A-07: Yes (cf. [22]). Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking rather like an ioctl? A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above). The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also [22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here. Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24]) What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor? A-09: pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the open(2) manpage.
